The Waste Of Time In Talking o'
Building Factories.

For the last year or SO many of the news
papers have been full of commentators OF
enterprises looking to the erection OF iacto-
ries, and so far as we have noticed, not SIN
gle factory has been built or commenced. AS
a matter of fact the proposition to build fac
tories is, In large majority Of instances, I'M
practicable and inadvsabe. The compcti'
ton in the manufacture Of cotton is so great
that the profit is not sufficient to warrant
the outlay by a people who, If borrowers,
have to pay ten per cent. interest, or, if lend
ers, can realize ten per cent. on their money.
No people can afford to invest their money
In factories in n country where the legal note
OF interest is ten per cent. AS a money in
vestment they would be foolish to do so.
People whose interest account Is high cam
not compete with the people or the country
where low rate OF interest rules. Until the
Southern farmers are prosperous and have
more money than they care TO invest in their
farms and their improvement, 1t Is idle for
the South TO talk about competing with the
Northern mills. As long rs our farmers are
borrowers at enormous rates of interest, and
as long Gs our business men pay ten per cent.
for money on which To make profit In their
dealings with the farmers, our people cannot
build factories.
What we need is prosperous farmers. Farm
ers who have something to sell, and do not
buy everything they need, from hamper
basket to q plow animal.

The Business Outlook Mt Abbeville.

All the indications point to prosperous
business at Abbevlle during the coming win
ter. The fields promise an abundant yield,
and our farmers are in good spirits at the
thought OF well stored barns. money in the
pocket, and all bills settled. Our merchants
are correspondingly cheered. Their custo-
mers will be able to pay their outstanding
bills,-and the new banking facilities of the
town, and the equitable rates of freight give
them all the advantages desired in
furnishing goods to their customers mt the
lowest prices. The equalization OF frcights
has encouraged our business men TO greater
efforts, and the effect will be to quicken trade,
and to bring new men among us. Messrs.
Rogers t. Co. will open a new Wholesale house
in town. Mcssrs p. Rosenberg & Co. are eli.
largng their store room TO more than double
its former capacity. Every merchant in town
will lay in larger and more complete stocks
than they have hud for years; a full corps of
clerks has already been employed or engaged,
and every thing for the people of Abbcvill"
county and Abbevile town looks most cheer
